` Application filed August 22| 1907. Serial No. 389.674.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, EIKE R. LUBBERS, citizen of the United States, residing at Monticello, inthe-county of Piatt and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Detachable Horseshoes, of which the following is a specification.

This invent'on relates to farriery and more particular y to detachable horse shoes, and has for its object to provide a shoe which may be easily attached or detached and which may be produced ata low figure.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description and it will be understood that changes in the speciic structure shown and described mav be made within the scope of the claims ywithout de arting from the spirit of the invention.

n the drawinvs formin a portion of this specification, and in whicl like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, Figure 1 is atop lan of the present horse shoe; Fig. .2 is a si e elevation; Fig. 3

is a front view showing the shoe attached to la horses hoof; Fig. 4 is a section on line 4 4 of Fig. 3, taken in the plane of one of the Y rivets; Fig. 5 is a detailed view showing the connection of the Vrivets with the collar.

Referring now to the drawings, there is shown a horse 'shoe 5 'of the usual type, having an attaching collar 6 secured thereto. lThis collar consists of two pieces'of scrap metal 7 and 8 secured at their rearward ends to the`heels of the shoe and against the outer faces thereof by means of rivets 9. The metallic straps extend upwardly and forwardly from the heels of the'shoe and also.

inwardly over the shoe to fit against the upper portion of a horses hoof, and at their forward ends, the stra s areA bent at right angles to form forward y extending ears 10,

' which are perforated to receive a bolt 11.'

Adjacent to .the forward ends of the metalli c straps 7' and 8, thesestraps have longitu-v dinally extending recesses 12 in their rearward faces, these recesses bein formed' by striking the metalof the straps orwardly as shown at 13, and in vthese forwardly struck portions, there are formed longitudinal slots 14 in which are received the rearwardly turned upper extremities 15 of rivets I6 which extend downwardly and forwardly and which have their lower ends engaged through the shoe 5. The extremities 15 of the rivets have heads 17 which lie in the recesses 12. bolt 11 may be operated to bind the coilar around a horses hoof, and that the rivets 16 are arranged for free movement of the collar with respect thereto to effect the binding of the'collar.

What is claimed is:

l. Thecombination with a horseshoe, of metallic straps secured at their rearward It will thus be seen tl'iat thev ends against the outer faces of the heels of the shoe, and extending upwardly and forwardly and inwardly over the shoe, said straps having their forward turned at right angles to form ears, a bolt engaged through the ears, and rivets engaged in the forward portion of the shoe and slidably connected with the straps.

2. The combination with a horseehce,
